“We’re so pleased to have come 10th in this year’s GivX SME 10 category and delighted that our work and commitment to corporate responsibility has been recognised. This reward means a lot to us and is a benchmark we can use to strive to improve on in the coming year.”
Speaking on behalf of Benefacto and GivX, Ben Darlington said:
“We are delighted with the huge increase in participation in GivX this year. More than three times as many companies have taken part and this allows us to provide them with an unprecedented level of insight into what good community investment practice looks like. It’s also meant that competition has really stiffened, so a huge congratulations to all our award winners. We believe that by improving the quality of the management information available to CR practitioners, GivX will allow companies to build on both the quality and scale of their community investment.
Our thanks go out to everyone who took part this year”
